All across the lands, there’s rumors circulating about the youngest heir of the Dark Kingdom, hiding in the shadows because of a ‘dangerous secret’.

People in the Dark Kingdom sympathized with the poor Princess, hidden away someplace where nobody could reach her, unless they knew how to find her. Those born there knew what was going on with her, how her social anxiety ruined her, to the point of living in isolation and away from all royal luxury.

Whereas those from the enemy land, the Light Kingdom, mocked those who believed in that story, claiming it was all just a fantasy, a myth, a legend.

One of those people who didn’t believe in the story from the enemy kingdom was Tsukasa Tenma, a brave chevalier from the Light Kingdom. It sounded like something out of a fairytale, after all!

He wasn’t aware that, one of those days when he was sent to the Dark Forest to gather information about the nearest village so his land’s troupes could ambush them, he’d stumble upon a small tower, hidden in by the foliage and blending with it on the way to the quaint little village he had to visit.

Tsukasa was a curious young man, and that’s something that everybody in his circle of friends knew about him.

The moment he caught a glimpse of something that seemed out of the ordinary, he couldn’t help but go right over there and check it out. Maybe, his curiosity would get him into trouble some day.. but he wasn’t that worried for that possibility at the moment.

He approached the tower quietly, his eyes filled with the curiosity he couldn’t repress, as he slowly started to ascend to the top of the building with the held of some vines and bricks.

“Hello? Anyone here? Any- heh, any princesses in distress and in need of rescuing?” He called out loudly as he stepped inside, thinking he was losing his time and just joking around with himself.

He was much less aware of the lady he met there, who resembled those from the Dark Kingdom’s royal family and had their beauty, and that was very much not a myth like he had thought. The ‘secret princess’, that lived in that tower, willingly.
